The Environmental Movement's Lies and Distortion

Paper Summary:

The paper examines "The Green Peril to the Third World" and and "Environmentalists Surf Tsunami Tragedy" by Steven Milloy as well as "Eco-terrorists Recruit 2nd Graders" by Mark Morano. The paper shows how environmental groups are often narrow-minded, offer distorted views of significant issues and ignore evidence which opposes their main theses. The paper suggests that mainstream media groups should emphasize both sides of the debate, point out the fallacies in the arguments brought forward by environmentalists and stop ignoring the controversial activities of groups like Rainforest Action Network (RAN).

From the Paper:

"The article, "The Green Peril to the Third World," shows how the proposed Kyoto Protocol endangers the economic well-being of developing nations insofar as dramatic reductions in greenhouse emissions will devastate their fledgling economies. The article also points out that there is no definitive proof that climate change is created by humans and a few passages are set aside outlining how environmental groups have established a de facto "veto" power over loans to developing nations which curry their disfavor - the example of Citigroup and its loan program being a good example (Milloy, para.1-13). As author Steven Milloy argues, ""....poor countries need economic development and environmental activists are blocking their way" (para.14)."
